stop using Apple iTunes and the problem is solved or in my case, I don't
update it just because Apple comes out with an update. You probably
could use songbird or mediamonkey or something else. I won't buy any
more iPod's anyway.

I don't necessarily agree with Foskett's perspective... if you buy Apple
products you continually get screwed.
